Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 237: Chapter 234: Stealing My Precious Treasure?

The cars were all speeding, whizzing past Chen Xing in a flash.

When she saw the driver of the fourth car, she couldn’t stay put any longer.

After the six cars passed, another convoy appeared some distance behind them.

This convoy looked far more brazen.

Their headlights cut blindingly through the pitch-dark night, and men were leaning out of the sunroofs, waving large sabers and screaming.

Judging by the excited looks on their faces, this was clearly a regular occurrence for them.

As the last vehicle, a small open-bed pickup truck, passed by, Chen Xing shot out and vaulted onto its tailgate in one swift motion.

The driver was so startled that the truck skidded.

Immediately, the man in the passenger seat looked back through the rear window and saw a woman standing on their truck.

A beautiful woman, no less!

Still, he was vigilant enough. He grabbed a gun and stuck his head out the side window.

The moment his head was out, he was yanked clean through the window and hurled onto the road.

The truck was moving fast. He landed headfirst and died instantly.

The man in the driver’s seat was completely stunned.

While he stared in horrified disbelief, Chen Xing had already slipped into the passenger seat. With a single kick, she sent the driver flying out of the truck.

She quickly slid into the driver’s seat and floored the accelerator.

But it was just a pickup truck, after all.

Forget catching the convoy that had fled; she couldn’t even catch up to the cars directly ahead of her.

But Chen Xing wasn’t worried.

She just followed them at a steady pace.

Two hours later, the entire convoy came to a halt for some unknown reason up ahead.

She hopped out of the truck and ran toward them.

”Ran Gaoyang, let’s see where you can fucking run this time!” an enraged Brother Hao snarled, grabbing Ran Gaoyang and landing a vicious punch. ”You killed my big brother! You fucking killed my big brother while I was away! You thought you could silence everyone and I’d never find you, huh?”

He hadn’t stopped looking for Chen Xing since his older brother’s death.

That woman wasn’t afraid in the slightest. She traveled all over the world so brazenly that every time he tracked her down and rushed over, he’d arrive to find her already gone.

’The heavens have eyes!’

By pure chance, he’d discovered that the real killers were this very group.

”If one of your men hadn’t been carrying my big brother’s belongings, I would’ve fucking thought that bitch Chen Xing was the only one who killed him!”

As he spoke, Brother Hao yanked a bandana off the neck of a man in Ran Gaoyang’s group.

The man looked shocked and guilty.

’He’d just found it in the supply depot. Could it have been brought in by accident during a supply run?’

Brother Hao pocketed the bandana, his eyes bloodshot with rage. He raised a hand and clamped it around the neck of the man who had dared to wear Brother Leopard’s bandana.

’Who the hell did this guy think he was, wearing my brother’s things?’

But before he could apply any pressure, his grip suddenly loosened.

A wave of numbness instantly spread up from his wrist.

He whirled around angrily. Something had flown from behind and struck his wrist.

’It’s her again!’

She was walking toward them through the darkness, radiating a confidence that suggested their numbers meant nothing to her.

”Why are you here?” Seeing it was Chen Xing, Ran Gaoyang thought, ’It’s over.’

’Chen Xing only helped us before. It’s not worth her risking her life for us now.’

Chen Xing nodded, her expression as impassive as ever.

”Sister Xing...” A delighted Qiu Min poked her head out of a window. Her big, tear-bright eyes blinked, not yet understanding the danger they were in.

Chen Xing’s heart melted instantly. Her indifference, her coldness... it all vanished.

She unconsciously broke into a smile so brilliant it was almost blinding.

Brother Hao was both frightened and furious. Seeing that her tiger wasn’t with her, his courage swelled. ”I wasn’t even looking for you, and you just served yourself up on a platter? Boss Ge Hui, it’s this bitch! She wiped out one of my teams, and she’s the one who killed my big brother!”

He looked pleadingly at Ge Hui, who was watching the spectacle from the side.

Ge Hui was a short man who always wore a faint smile, earning him the nickname ”Smiling Tiger.”

At first glance, it was impossible to read his intentions.

Ge Hui’s eyes lit up the moment he saw Chen Xing.

After so long in the apocalypse, most people could no longer maintain a pristine appearance.

Even the most beauty-conscious women had to bow to reality, relying on their natural looks alone.

But Chen Xing’s skin was naturally fair and smooth. Anyone would have to take a second look.

”Boss Ge Hui?” When Ge Hui didn’t answer, Brother Hao followed his gaze and immediately understood his intentions.

He was slightly displeased.

’This is the woman who killed my big brother!’

But... he had to rely on Ge Hui right now, so he didn’t let it show.

Ge Hui, however, didn’t quite believe Brother Hao.

’How tough could one woman be?’

”Take the woman alive. Kill the men!” Ge Hui ordered, completely oblivious to the reality of the situation.

His mind was consumed with a single thought: ’This woman is mine.’

Brother Hao had been waiting for that order. He raised his saber, ready to hack Ran Gaoyang and his men to pieces.

Just then, a small wolf cub shot out from the woods nearby.

The seemingly cute and harmless little creature instantly bit several people.

In a flash, it threw Ge Hui’s men into a panic.

Chen Xing gathered electricity in her palm and unleashed it on Ge Hui and his men.

With no power to resist, Ge Hui collapsed to the ground, dead.

Chen Xing was speechless. ’And here I thought this guy was supposed to be a big shot.’

Before Brother Hao could even process what had happened, Ran Gaoyang struck. He knocked him down and finished him with three quick slashes of his blade.

Ran Gaoyang’s hatred for Brother Hao was just as intense.

This wasn’t the first time they had been attacked by Brother Hao’s men.

The last time Brother Hao had ambushed them, more than ten members of their team had lost their lives. Xu Biao, in particular, had sacrificed himself to save Qiu Min and the others.

Even now, Qiu Min often woke up crying from nightmares.

Soon, Ge Hui’s entire pursuit team had been eliminated. The little wolf cub vanished as quietly as it had appeared, as if it had never been there at all.

”Do you guys want to join the factory district?” Chen Xing began, briefly describing the settlement led by Brother Xiao and Captain Lu.

It looked like Ran Gaoyang and his group still hadn’t found a safe place to settle.

’The world is only going to get more terrifying,’ she thought. ’It’s too dangerous to keep wandering around out here.’

Hearing about such a place, Ran Gaoyang and the others looked skeptical.

They had joined their fair share of groups and so-called safe zones over the past months.

But none of them had worked out.

Most were run by people with evil intentions, while others couldn’t even protect themselves.

So, they had no choice but to keep wandering.

Along the way, they had lost people to zombies, to monsters, and to hostile settlements. Their group was now less than half the size it had been the last time they met Chen Xing.

”I can guarantee it. As long as you’re loyal, Brother Xiao will treat you like family!” Chen Xing could vouch for that. ”If you want to go, I’ll escort you there myself!”

Ran Gaoyang discussed it with Ling Yi and a few other core members of his team, and they decided to go.

The monsters outside were getting fiercer, and the zombies were evolving too quickly. They really didn’t dare to keep wandering anymore.

Chen Xing was leading Ran Gaoyang’s group back when, halfway there, she received a message from Meng Hu.

Li Feibai had woken up, and when he didn’t see her, he’d left in a hurry.

Leaving was one thing, but he just had to take Meng Hu with him.

’What the hell? What’s that supposed to mean?’

’Abducting my precious baby?’
